About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
Smith’s Bar & Grill is nestled in Paddington, Central London, it is the first place you see when you walk under the bypass behind Paddington Station.

Known for its high ceilings and almost full-length windows, the natural light in Smith’s is just as nourishing and wholesome as the comfortable furnishings and exquisite selection of food and drink that we serve.

The venue is split into the areas:
• Main Restaurant
• Main Bar & Lounge Area
• Outdoor Terrace Canal-side


Smith’s is an ideal venue for weddings, on-location filming, major launch events, and multi-stage music and entertainment events.
The whole venue can comfortably accommodate up to 200 people for a sit-down dinner and up to 400 standing. Its proximity to Paddington Station (50 yards from the Hammersmith & City Underground entrance) makes it quick to get to for those coming from out of town.

    Great atmosphere! The music was fun, but def on the louder side. The food was spectacula. I gave 4 stars rather than 5 because I ordered my steak filet med/rare. It was delivered, well done. The server watched as I cut into it, and immediately whisked it away, as even he saw it was over cooked. I was presented with another steak. It was so rare, it was quite cold in the middle. I ate around the outside of it, and it was so flavorful. Sadly, I couldn’t eat the middle, as it was raw. The restaurant was very busy, and I really didn’t want to send the food back again. - I’m certain they would have made a 3rd steak, but, it was nearly 9pm, and I was done waiting. Overall, the staff were all attentive. The drinks were delicious. Almost forgot, the oysters on the half shell were delightful.

    Dear Laura, Thank you so much for your thoughtful and honest review. We're really glad to hear you enjoyed the atmosphere, drinks, and especially the oysters – and we truly appreciate your kind words about our attentive staff. We're very sorry to hear about the issue with your steak. Your patience and understanding in a busy setting mean a lot. We’d love the chance to make it up to you next time – and ensure your steak is cooked just the way you like it. Hope to welcome you back soon! Many thanks EM

    Restaurant warned that DJ/music would raise noise level on Saturday night. However, IT WAS SO LOUD CONVERSATION WAS IMPOSSIBLE. An electric violin screeching to disco backing track!! IT WAS ONLY 7:30pm! Food was great, pricing moderate, service excellent. Noise ruined it.

    I had a business meeting there so we were talking quite a bit before ordering. The waiters kept coming by asking if we were ready to order and we kept saying we needed more time. Finally an unfriendly person acting like the main manager came by and quite assertively asked if we were here to eat. We finally ordered and the food was good, with great ambiance, but the pressure to "turn a table" was clear.

    We went to this restaurant based on a recommendation, and it exceeded our expectations. The steaks were absolutely amazing – tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The portions are very generous, so you definitely won’t leave hungry! The service was also excellent. We were looked after by Maurizio, who was kind, attentive, and very efficient. It’s always a pleasure to be served by someone so professional and friendly. We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended if you love meat and want to leave fully satisfied!

We’re thrilled to hear we exceeded your expectations and that you enjoyed the steaks – we take great pride in serving up quality cuts packed with flavour. Maurizio will be so pleased to know his service made your visit even better. We can’t wait to welcome you back soon – and yes, meat lovers, this one’s for you! Many thanks EM

    Best food and service we have experienced in London. Had the calamari on our first visit and rated them 10/10 and had to come back to try the great rib eye steak which didn’t disappoint. Staff were very attentive and food was served quickly and always with a smile.

    Dear Marlena, Thank you so much for your amazing review! We're honoured to be your top food and service experience in London. So glad you loved the calamari and came back for the ribeye – it’s fantastic to hear it lived up to expectations! We’ll be sure to share your kind words with the team. Looking forward to seeing you again soon! Many thanks EM
